    Before last night I would picked Pavlik and wouldn't have thought twice about it. Now I just don't know how Pav would fare against another defensive wizard. I realize Winky poses an entirely different defensive puzzle than B-Hop does but none the less it would be a very interesting challenge.

    Thoughts and predictions.

    i would lean towards pavlik by decision, winky leaves you a lot more time to pick your shots than bhop, which would work well for kp, in saying that pavliks defence isnt the best and if he tries to move forward without working off his jab again it could easily go to winky. hard fight to call but would love for it to happen

    Winky at his best is a nightmare for Kelly for a variety of reasons.

    Right now its hard to say..Not sure where Winky is at/

    winky would stand still so pavlik could pick his shots but i dont seem him taking this. winky would block a lot of his assault and put him on the defense when workin. i see it goin to the cards for winky in a split decision. tough drag out fight tho.

    Winky's defence is predicated on his ability to cover up however unlike B-Hop he is constantly coming forward which is exactly what Pavlik wants. It's beause of that come foward style that I would have picked Pav but Winky is also a very good counter puncher and B-Hops' counter puching gave Pav fits. (not that Pav was throwing all that much) :D

    Footwork is what killed PAvlik in there.

    Winky's game is not footwork. He is good defensively for other reasons, but it would suit Kelly far better.

    Calzaghe and Hopkins are not where Kelly wants to go.

    It would be like Tito all over again Winky is just to quick and skilled for him, assuming Winky isn't washed up that is.

    winky covers up well and pavlik doesn't have a better jab in my opinion. and yes he moves forward and covers up until they stop throwing which would be after a 1-2 for pavlik then winky will put the straight left right down the pipe all night. it will be a good fight ofcourse. nothing easy for winky but i dont see pavlik being able to land enough clean shots to beat winky.

    I think this fight would be similar Winky vs Trinidad. Winky is 4 years older now though so who knows how his performance would be.

    2 major differences: Trinidad wasn't a natural middle weight and Winky would be coming off of a long lay off now against Pav.

    ditto of what we just saw...Wright doesnt move around the ring as much but he is still harder to hit then Hopkins, and he is always in position to return shots unlike Hopkins..Bad matchup for Kelly...


    NOTE:those who are in charge of Pavlik DONT MAKE THIS FIGHT
